WATER BAPTISMS PLANNED

A district wide water baptism service is being planned for next month in the nearby city of Reynosa. Churches throughout the district will take advantage of this service, baptizing all who want to follow Jesus in this sacrament.  Church of God District Supervisor Fernando Colorado will officiate at the service which is usually held in the city swimming pool.

Azucena, one of the leaders in the church in Nuevo Progreso, wants to be baptized along with 2 of her daughters.  They are attending a few classes at the church to learn more about the importance and significance of water baptism.  There may be others who decide to be baptized during this opportunity.  Everyone agrees how important this next step is in their Christian walk.

Last year 6 people were baptized in water from the church in Nuevo Progreso.

"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, if any man will come after me, let him 

deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me."  Matthew 16:24 KJV
